There are many large radio telescopes not integrated into current VLBI networks because of the shortage of modern compatible VLBI recorders. Above all, this situation is negative for Russia. The wide use of Canadian S2 systems that there are now in 13 countries gives its a chance to be involved in the VLBI Community. It is proposed to arrange an ad-hoc S2 VLBI array from the telescopes around the world, equipped with S2 system, and Penticton S2 correlator. The six successful international VLBI experiments that were carried out since 1993 confirms the feasibility of this S2 initiative. Three Russian antennas (Bear Lakes, Puschino, Svetloe) were joined with three foreign radio telescopes during observations INTAS98.5 (Arecibo, Green Bank, HartRAO) and INTAS99.4 (HartRAO, Noto, Shanghai) to investigate AGNs, OH-masers, interplanetary medium and stars. The pioneer VLBI radar experiment VLBR99.1 was organized in June 1999 for Mars and Venus planets to develop the new method of investigations of Solar system bodies. A review of the S2 experiments results is presented.
